{"Image DocumentName": "Day 3Time without Change? Introduction to Causation. The Regularity Theory of Causation. Problems with the Regularity Theory.", "Image ImageDescription": "1. We think that causation consists in something stronger than mere regularity. Why? We tend to want to say things like this: The scenario where I break the car window with the axe is a case of genuine causation because the first event made the second event happen. If events of the first kind happen, then events of the second kind must happen (If someone smashes something fragile with an axe, then it has to break). But that is not the case in, say, scenario 1. Just because a car pulls up at traffic lights, that doesn\u2019t mean a purple car must pull up beside it. Words such as \u2018must\u2019 and \u2018has to\u2019 are generally used to indicate necessity. We saw on Day 1 however that a distinction can be drawn between logical and physical necessity.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
